About this map

The Irvine Ranch Headquarters serves as a central hub for the agricultural landscape of central Orange County during the mid-1930s. This survey reveals a transition from the urban grid of Santa Ana and the burgeoning community of Tustin to the expansive ranch lands and citrus groves to the southeast. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and the Southern Pacific RR, which facilitated the movement of goods from local stops like Myford and Frances.

Private land use is evidenced by several sporting locations including the Twenty Ranch Gun Club and Aliso Gun Club, situated near the San Joaquin Hills. The map also captures early aviation history with Martins Landing Field and an Airway Beacon. Small settlements like Delhi (Glorietta PO) and Kathryn appear as critical points of local commerce and identity before the late-century suburban transformation.
